look at the bbpress default stylesheet , then look at your stargazer child themes bbpress stylesheet and see what you need.

heres some code that you might need …i dont know right all that you need

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: 115px;
}

ehh I been trying this code last few days….I am not sure if this is what I did was right?
Should I post the code here for you to see and check if it’s right?

any modal login plugin with a shortcode or link to call it should work

Ok, added in !important worked.
Do you know what can help moving the avatar and name to the left and comment to the right like normal bbpress ? Or maybe just the code so that I can edit it myself.

[Robkk]

i guess this might work.

li.bbp-header ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-info a.bbp-forum-title {
color:#fff!important;
}

[desiamerican26]

I also have Simple Meta Tags plugin and I just cheked that I have a code which I don’t think is right under my editor section….I been testing all of these but not a good result….

[desiamerican26]

Hello friends,

There is an issue that I been encountering on my website while posting on facebook. It doesn’t show the image when I post on FB, but when I use the Facebook Debugger and scrape new info through it, then it works fine. I am not sure why it’s acting like that.

I do have some plugins that might be causing the issue. I have Shareaholic Share but I deactivated the Meta Tags under that and then I have Facebook OGP, WordPress SEO

Is there a way to have a better link posting on facebook or any social site without having that issue? Or some code that will work perfect without plugins or anything?

Please help.

Thank You
Regards,
Nik

Jimi, I was also disappointed when I installed BBPress and found it to be very unlike a forum I had known in the past. Out of the box it is too simplistic with several themes I tried it with. I just wanted a forum look but this does not seem possible unless you hire developers or are a really good coder with loads of time.

I do appreciate the effort of the developers as an open source software. unfortunately I had the wrong impression from reading reviews of several wordpress solutions as they all pointed to this one as the best. To be blunt I would not like to try the worst ones.

I have had a lot of issues, many plugins are not compatible and I still have nothing that looks remotely like a normal forum. I actually just searched to how to enable PM’s and that is when I found this post and another which says basically you need to install the Buddypress which is an overkill it seems.

I do hope that BBPress will eventually cater to everyone’s needs but sadly I think I have to look at another solution and revert back to my PHPBB forum form 2 weeks ago. Then I will consider going with IP board or Vbulletin.

Jimi, can you tell me why you stopped using IPB?

if you mean like this http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/

follow this topic https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958

Oh! Looks like my bad, replace get_template_part('content'); with <?php the_content(); ?> 😉

You mean replace bbpress.php file content with the archive.php content and then remove that line of code?

I will try that and will let you know if that fixes the issue. Thank you for your help!

[Stephen Edgar]

If you write that code as a function you can then hook it to bbp_before_main_content

[defcon1186]

I’ve added renamed archived.php without get_template_part('content'); like bbpress.php in my child root, and now forum page won’t load… that’s pretty weird 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

A quick look at the “Track’ theme, it looks like if you copy archive.php to bbpress.php that will resolve most of your issues. (Source: archive.php)

After you have done the above remove the following line from your bbpress.php copy:
get_template_part('content');

[Stephen Edgar]

All of bbPress will sit within the ID id="bbpress-forums" which makes CSS styling even easier and is far from new, I think it has been there since bbPress became a plugin 🙂

I did actually. I tested on Tracks WordPress theme which happens to be free yet awesome theme. But on the forum topic page, for mysterious reasons, only the first post from the topic is visible. Posts from second and onwards don’t show up at all. A programmer would probably fix this in a moment but I’m not really a coder, so I’m looking for something else.

Thanks for your help.

[Stephen Edgar]

Have you tried bbPress with your preferred theme?

Give it a try, bbPress will work with most themes “out of the box”.

If you want to start customizing your theme check out the docs

[Stephen Edgar]

Hey @microdot, glad you found us after I closed down your other posts 😉

Check this out https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/

Also what setting do you have in WordPress discussion settings for:

Before a comment appears Before a comment appears Comment must be manually approved

I think that is most likely the culprit, what happens if you uncheck that?

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like you’ve now added BuddyPress so this is null and void 😉

If you decide not to use BuddyPress let me know and I’ll take another look.

Typically if you make a copy of page.php and rename it bbpress.php and it doesn’t work is because the themes page.php has some funky code, usually linking to custom templates for custom post types so is usually theme specific and alternatives can be to tyr the themes archive.php and or post the theme name here and we can have a look.

[Stephen Edgar]

After you click stop and then start it should just continue on from where it left off.

The issue will be though is that any topics in that range of (13601 – 13700) that were not imported before the conversion stopped will not be imported.

These types of faults are typically due to some encoding issue in that post. Sometimes this is from an encoding conversion to UTF8 that was done at some point. Whatever it is, it’s nearly impossible to detect without setting a time limit on queries and bisecting the difference until we can narrow down the offending entry, and skip it. Because queries could naturally take a long time, and because it results in missed data, I’m not comfortable with this approach.

The workaround is to find and delete the offending reply which is time consuming and tricky but the only way at this stage.

Here’s how I do debug this and find the offending topics/replies:

• Once the import hangs, click stop, take a note of where it was up to, e.g. Converting 11,299 – 11,300
• Click start again and the import will continue from where it left off
• If it hangs again, take note of where it was up to again
• Once finished make a fresh copy of the source database
• Now drop all the rows in the database that are not in the range of rows that failed during import
• Perform a fresh import using this database with the “Rows Limit” setting set to 1
• The import should hang on the offending topic/reply
• Again, take note of the topic/reply it was up to
• Click stop, click start again to continue on
• Once you have your list of offenders and the import has finished delete these rows from this database and test again to make sure it completes without hanging
• Now back in your full database (presumably a copy of the original) delete these same rows from the database and run the import again

[Stephen Edgar]

You would want to remove the topic form from content-single-forum.php

A standard bbPress User Profile Edit link should look something like this:

http://example.com/forums/users/username/edit/

Similar here on this site your edit profile link should be:
https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/azafuel/edit/

Users ‘can’ edit their profile in WordPress backend with the /wp-admin and that is because we are a WordPress plugin that uses WordPress’ users for bbPress so both are valid URL’s for user profiles.

[Stephen Edgar]

I added a couple of other plugins that do this a couple of days ago to the following page:
